Intelligent and Honest Radicals - The Chicago Federation of Labor and the Politics of Progression

Informationen zum Autor By Mitchell Newton-Matza Klappentext Intelligent and Honest Radicals explores the Chicago labor movement's relationship to Illinois legal and political system. Newton-Matza focuses on the significant era between the great strike in 1919 to Franklin D. Roosevelt's inauguration and the beginning of the New Deal in 1933. He brings to light a number of victories and achievements for the labor movement in this period that are often over looked. This book sheds important new light on the Chicago labor movement and its role in shaping Illinois labor legislation, politics, and legal practices toward unions in a neglected era. -- Elizabeth McKillen, The University of Maine Inhaltsverzeichnis AcknowledgmentsIntroductionChapter One: The Ghosts of Upheaval: Chicago Law and Labor in the Nineteenth CenturyChapter Two: Whoopla Ho! : The Creation of the Chicago Federation of Labor and into the Twentieth CenturyChapter Three: Everybody Is Watching Us Now: The CFL and the Dream of a Labor PartyChapter Four: The Crack of the Whip: The Battle against the Labor InjunctionChapter Five: The Chicago Controversy: The Landis AwardChapter Six: A Brisk War over a New Constitution for IllinoisConclusion: Out of the Twenties and into the New DealBibliography
